Convicted drug dealer Sam Walker, 34, who last month hit headlines after gloating on camera about his step-by-step guide to escape the country, is now back in the UK after again giving authorities the slip.

Walker, 34, of Liverpool, was last week flown into a field in northern England before being driven away in a waiting car.

He then spent the night in a plush £250-a-night Hilton hotel room, overlooking the headquarters of Merseyside Police, as revealed in another ‘step-by-step’ video put on YouTube on July 15.

Walker, who has more than 100 offences under his belt, is wanted for failing to show up for court for driving without a licence.

He even put a video on Facebook of him tailing police vans that had been searching his flat after arriving home seconds after the officers had left.

And the 34-year-old, who has ratcheted up more than 100 crimes and once threatened to end the career of Chelsea ace Ross Barkley, bragged on camera: ‘What would they do if they knew I was here?’

He was jailed in 2008 for his part in a heroin and crack gang who were caught with £12million of drugs which was seized alongside luxury cars and jewellery, with Walker said to be earning up to £2,500 per day.

Walker also has a number of driving convictions for offences including speeding and failing to tell the authorities the identity of a driver, while he has also been convicted of possessing counterfeit currency.

Last year he was arrested by armed police at Manchester Airport trying to board a flight to Dubai over a bar brawl in which he allegedly committed GBH.

Walker embarked on an epic journey back to the UK from Sierra Leone, where he is considered a ‘hero’ by locals for charity work while he was praised for paying for rough sleepers to stay at a hotel in Liverpool.

The crook told pals on Facebook: ‘Here’s the vid of me coming back from Sierra Leone when police said they would arrest me on way back in.

‘Police kicked my door in again last night lookin (sic) for me to put me back in jail so how about this then Cheshire an (sic) Merseyside police, you tried to prevent me from going to Africa to help them people by putting false charges on me and you said publicly that you would arrest me on my way back to the UK from the Sierra Leone in Africa.

‘That’s why I’ve done this. Sorry fellas but you didn’t stand a chance. Keep kicking my apartment door in and I will keep up loading videos showing how s*** you really are as a police force and government.’

Reports suggest he is viewed as a ‘hero’ in Sierra Leone because he has helped with access to clean water. This picture was posted to Instagram in May

‘He got off the helicopter, straight into a car and was gone. There were no stops, no checks, nothing.

‘He could have been a terrorist. It was so easy.’

In his second step-by-step video Walker showed how he dodged officials across Europe on his way back to Britain.

He came out of hiding in Sierra Leone at the end of June and crossed the border to neighbouring Guinea to charter a plane to Dubai, where he raced super cars and enjoyed lavish parties during early July.

Walker then flew to north Africa, before filming himself taking a speedboat across the Mediterranean to Italy.

A clip shows the fugitive in a life jacket on the boat with the caption: ‘Step 1, hire a speedboat after a stop off in Dubai.’

Next he flew to Barcelona, hitched a lift to Portugal on a ship and crossed the country to north west Spain, where his helicopter was waiting.

It is understood he plans to flee back to Sierra Leone where he is hailed as a hero for his charity efforts.

Cheshire Police said: ‘Inquiries into Sam Walker’s whereabouts have been ongoing since he failed to appear to appear at Chester Magistrates Court on April 20 in relation to a disqualified driving offence

‘Police would appeal to anyone with any information in relation to his whereabouts to contact Cheshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

‘We are aware of the social media posts and are reviewing them.’

A Home Office spokesperson said: ‘It is a matter for the police which cases they refer to Border Force for potential action.

‘Border Force carries out detailed risk assessments and our officers physically meet any flight considered to be high risk.

‘We also carry out regular visits to airfields around the UK to conduct checks on lower risk traffic and to maintain relationships with the aviation community.’
